The story centers on Lizzie Curry, a young woman living in drought-ridden [[TheGreatDepression 1930s]] Texas with her widowed father, [[DotingParent H.C.]], and her brothers, [[BigEater Noah]] and [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Jimmy]]. Intelligent and witty but insecure, Lizzie has pretty much given up hope of finding a husband. H.C., Noah, and Jimmy plan to invite the local sheriff, File, to a town picnic in hope that Lizzie can impress him. File refuses to go, intent on searching for a con man said to be headed their way. A man calling himself Starbuck does show up, promising to bring rain for $100. The town immidiatly falls for him, all except Lizzie, who sees through his con. Starbuck, for his part, is attracted to Lizzie, and tries to break down her many shields. After many an argument, he and Lizzie begin to have feelings for each other and wind up spending the night together, and in the morning, Starbuck offers to take Lizzie away with him. Before Lizzie can make a decision, File shows up, proposing marriage, and Lizzie must choose between the two men. Her decision is made when Starbuck tells her if she comes with him she won't have to be Lizzie any more, since 'Lizzie' isn't a good enough name for her, and File says its a perfect name for her. Realizing that despite her one night with Starbuck when she allowed herself to dream, she is a simple girl at heart and likes being 'Lizzie.' Lizzie chooses to marry File, and Starbuck prepares to leave town, returning the town's $100, as he didn't make it rain. Just as he does, the rain starts to fall, Starbuck whoops in surprise, takes his money and leaves, leaving Lizzie alone with File, to hopefully live happily ever after.
